L.U.F.O.R.C. BULLETIN Nos. 11 & 12

This document is the special Christmas issue of the L.U.F.O.R.C. Bulletin, dated December 11, 1960, published by the London Unidentified Flying Object Research Organisation. The bulletin serves as a compilation of reports, news, and commentary regarding UFO sightings in the United Kingdom and internationally. The primary focus is a series of reports concerning a brilliant object seen over Bristol on November 11, 1960, which generated numerous eyewitness accounts and conflicting official explanations, ranging from meteorites to jet aircraft. The bulletin also covers other incidents, including a sighting in Preston where thousands of football fans observed a hovering object, and a glowing object reported over Coventry. The editor, Roy Stemman, provides commentary on the potential for misinterpretation of natural phenomena as hostile threats, referencing reports of nuclear war scares caused by radar reflections of the moon. The document includes sections on international UFO news, such as a large yellow disc filmed over Sault Ste. Marie, Canada, and the 'Red Bluff' case in California, where police officers reported a UFO that was later dismissed by the U.S. Air Force as a refraction of stars. The bulletin also discusses the activities of various UFO research groups, the publication of books on the subject, and the ongoing efforts of L.U.F.O.R.O. to collect and authenticate sighting reports. It concludes with an appeal for readers to report sightings and a note regarding the transition of the editorship to Mr. Lawrence G. Moore.
